Hi ladies! Just wanted to let you all know why I have been mia the past few days and haven't put the new thread up yet. I have been in the hospital with my DS because he had to have his appendix out. It was a pretty bad case so we are just hanging out waiting to be able to go home. Hope everyone is doing well. Will work on getting the new thread up when we get home.

Oh dear, love, light, and healing for your little man

That makes for some restless sleep tonight. (FWIW, I have pretty much NO symptoms either way, no sore boobs, no cramping, no nausea, just really tired, but I don't get much sleep either.)

Ug me too! I'm 4 days late still bfn...except I've been crazy nauseated and crampy

Hi ladies Thanks so much for all of the kind words, thoughts and prayers! The appendix wasn't ruptured, but the surgeon said it was actually gangrenous (sp?) so they treated it like a rupture. We were in the hospital for 4 days for IV antibiotics after the surgery. We are home now, and he is doing really well. I think that trying to keep him still so that he can heal is going to be a challenge!! I will get the new thread up this afternoon when all the kids are napping Hope you are all having a great day!

Well, I was up at 5:30 so I wiped, looked, wiped again, looked, peed in a cup, wiped, looked...no signs of AF so I tested. Still BFN. Still nothing. Dh says he is 100% "in the middle" He'd be happy with another baby but equally happy to be done. I'm not as sure, I'm more 35% ok to be done, we are starting to get out of the baby stage and to where we can really enjoy family activities and all three kids have their own rooms, money is ok, it would be smart to be done and enjoy the healthy kids God gave me. On the other hand, I just don't know for sure that we are done. We are totally open to adoption but the funds aren't there for private, we'd have to foster to adopt and then who knows if we'd ever even get a baby (and as bad as it is I'd totally try to get a girl). UGH, a BFP would have stopped all these questions!

Well I'm going to count myselfi n the tww even though i have no real reason to think I ovulated. I had a little EWCM around the 20th so I'm going to test around Feb 5th. GIves me something to obsess about if nothing else

Af showed up yesterday afternoon. I think I'm about out. Each month that goes by I'm starting to think more and more that we are done. Dh said something yesterday morning about getting his hopes up. He actually wanted me to be pregnant, and of course, I'm not. I am not really down about it, just trying to decide what to do. I hate the not knowing but I REALLY hate birth control and we are only 31 and not ready for anything permanent. We are awful at condoms because even if we start with one we always take it off because the 'risk' of getting pregnant is worth it feeling better. My little guy is wearing trainers now slowly all the baby stuff is getting packed away. I also know that if I get rid of the baby stuff and embrace life past the baby stage I'll get pregnant and have to start all over again, that has happened to so many people we know! I just wish I knew the future!

Good Morning AF. How nice of you to show up this weekend! This starts cycle 5 since NTNP. I'm shocked.

Still thinking and praying for your little guy, Ashlie!

Everyone doing ok? It's quiet around here.

I am sorry about AF! Thanks for praying for my little man He is doing really well. Back to his normal jumping, bouncy, slightly crazy self

So sorry about AF I understand where you are coming from with deciding if you want to have another one. I struggle with that too at times. I am 32, and I definitely want to be done by the time I am 35. Which still leaves plenty of time, but it is also something that is in the back of my mind. On one hand, I don't feel like our family is complete with 3 kids, but I am also finding my heart pulled towards adoption. It is something that DH and I are talking/praying about. I do love the snuggly baby stage though Anyhow...sorry for the long windedness

Hope everyone has a nice relaxing weekend!

This is so me! Dh and I are both very open to adoption but could only afford to do Foster to Adopt. Every time I hear Audio Adrenaline's Kings & Queens I cry my eyes out! I often think that I'm not getting pregnant because God has some sweet child out there that needs us. I've been off birth control for 9 months now with no BFP. My last two pregnancies I was pregnant within two months each time. Maybe I do have my answer.

We would definitely have to go the foster to adopt route too...it is crazy how expensive adoption is! I will pray for you guys to have clarity on this! I know I struggle with being patient and waiting on God to do his thing
